Environmental and sustainability education

El actual modelo socioeconomico de las sociedades de los paises desarrollados es insostenible, pues lleva aparejados importantes problemas ambientales que ponen en riesgo la supervivencia de la Tierra, por lo que es necesario un nuevo modelo de sociedad que haga posible un futuro mas sostenible y, en ello, la educacion juega un papel clave. Se presenta una propuesta educativa que pretende integrar la perspectiva constructivista, concretamente el aprendizaje por investigacion; pero, ademas, intenta mostrar la “aplicabilidad” de la Educacion Ambiental e Intercultural para un Desarrollo Sostenible a la resolucion de problemas reales y concretos, que salvando la distancia entre la teoria y la practica, consiga la transformacion de las actitudes, conocimientos y comportamientos de la comunidad educativa a nivel local y global. Ademas, introduce los contenidos de la gestion sostenible en el curriculo y permite unir la practica y la ensenanza de la sostenibilidad.Palabras clave: Educacion Ambiental; Educacion Intercultural; Desarrollo Sostenible; Propuesta metodologica.Theoretical and methodological frame of environmental and intercultural education for a sustainable developmentThe current model of society in developed countries is unbearable because it carries with it main environmental problems that put in risk the survival of the Earth, so that, a new model of society that makes a more sustainable future possible is necessary. In doing so, the education plays a key role. We present an educational proposal that tries to integrate the constructivist perspective, more precisely the learning by research methodology; but also tries to show that Environmental and Intercultural Education for a Sustainable Development can be applied to the solving of real problems, saving the gap between theory and practice to achieve the change of attitudes, knowledge and behaviours of the educational community in a more local and global level. Also, it introduces the content of the sustainable management of resources in the curriculum and makes it possible to put together the practice and teaching of sustainability.Key words: Environmental Education; Intercultural Education; Sustainable Development; Methodological proposal.
